  1. Report Writing Four Models for Reports Test Oriented, Client Oriented, Domain Oriented, Hypothesis Oriented

  2. Report Writing • Test-Oriented-results discussed test by test basis. Each test is listed by name and the significant results for the test are presented. • Strengths-the source of each piece of data is clear • Weakness-reader focuses on test scores more than on client • Client-Oriented-results discussed test by test basis, but what the child can or can not do is what is emphasized, not test scores. • Strengths-focus on client’s approach and what he or she can do, not just test scores • Weakness- Each area is treated separately and not integrated. Source:Nail, G., 1996

  3. Report Writing • Domain-Oriented-Results are grouped according to abilities or “functional domains” • Strengths-this works when several different persons have conducted the assessment, but you can integrate the areas such as math, reading, etc. • Weakness-may have included information you did not need • Hypothesis-Oriented- Results focus on possible answers to referral questions. Present a hypothesis in “reason for Referral section, then present data to systematically support or refute hypothesis. Results section should integrate information from interviews, observations, etc. Names of tests are rarely used. • Strengths-efficiency and concise focus on referral problem. • Weakness-You do not report all information that was gathered (even if it might be helpful for some other purpose).
